General info
operating power consumption

How much power the device consumes when it's switched on.
Ground coffee, especially if freshly roasted and ground, results in much better quality coffee than the kind of results you get with pods or capsules.
The machine uses coffee pods or capsules, which offer different flavors and types of coffee.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
The thickness (or depth) of the product.
When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction. Note: This may vary by region.
Components
The espresso machine has an integrated grinder so that you don’t have to buy a separate one.
A burr grinder works in such a way that you can get a consistent, uniform size of grind each time, which is one of the key aspects of getting great tasting espresso. On the other hand an inferior blade grinder often leaves you with an inconsistent grind.
An adjustable cup clearance is useful when you wish to use larger cups and mugs, such as when making a latte macchiato.
It has a steam wand, which allows you to make steamed/frothed milk to create other drinks from an espresso base.
bean hopper capacity

A bigger bean hopper means that you have to refill it less often.
With a cup warmer you can heat the cups before pulling your espresso so that it doesn't go cold quickly, which affects the taste and quality. It also means that you don’t have to manually heat them using hot water.
The device has an electronic display to present information to the user.
You can operate the device easily, by pressing the screen with your fingers.
The machine automatically deposits the used coffee grounds or pods into the dump box after extraction. The dump box capacity shows how many drinks you can create before it is full.
Water source
With a larger water tank you don’t have to refill it as often.
An integrated water filter produces cleaner water for brewing espresso. It also helps to prevent the build up of limescale.
The water tank is removable, making it easier to refill.
A PID controller controls the temperature of the boiler electronically. It offers a far greater degree of accuracy and consistency than a regular, mechanical thermostat used to control temperature. This is very important as a temperature of around 92°C to 96°C is key to pulling the perfect espresso.
A hot water outlet is useful as it can be used to heat cups, as well as making americanos, long blacks and teas.
boiler size

A higher capacity boiler means that you don’t have to refill it as often.
With a transparent water tank you can easily see when it needs to be filled up. This is important as attempting to make an espresso with an empty tank can damage the machine.
Maintenance
The machine automatically cleans the coffee circuit, meaning that the machine requires a minimal amount of cleaning.
The machine automatically cleans the milk circuit, meaning that the machine requires a minimal amount of cleaning.
With a drip tray indicator the machine informs you of when you need to empty the tray.
After a certain period of being idle, the device will switch to a sleep mode to conserve power.
The machine alerts you when it requires cleaning.
It has an internal fuse/thermal sensors which prevents the machine from overheating.
Features
These buttons can be programmed for different types of coffee such as an espresso, doppio or ristretto. This means once you have mastered a particular style of coffee, you can get it the same every time.
With an integrated milk frother, the machine can automatically produce frothed milk for use in cappuccinos and other drinks.
number of grind settings

A higher number of grind settings gives you more flexibility when choosing the fineness of your ground coffee. The particle size is important as a grind which is too coarse can produce weak tasting espresso, whereas a grind which is too fine can lead to a bitter taste.
With a pre-infusion function you get a low pressure of water before it ramps up to around 9 bar of pressure. This gently expands the grinds to get a smooth extraction and to help prevent channeling in the cake.
This means that the capsules/pods are widely available, whereas with some manufacturers you can only buy them from special shops or online.
This technology allows the users to use their smartphone as a remote control for the device.
For machines which accept coffee capsules/pods, each one can create a different drink, including teas and hot chocolates. More types of drink available gives you a greater range of choice.
With one press of a button you can create a cappuccino.
With a double boiler or heat exchanger system, you can brew and steam milk at the same time. This has an advantage over single boiler machines where you have to wait between brewing and steaming for the temperature to adjust.
